In my opinion, Ja Morant is still the runaway ROTY of the Year. I’ve discussed this many times since Zion Williamson’s return and my opinion has not changed. No matter how good Zion has been, he simply missed too many games to qualify. The argument over which player is actually better from a basketball standpoint,…

Jonas Valanciunas 27 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
Jonas Valanciunas has always had very vibrant eyes. In every thumbnail image I make of him, as long as his face isn’t in shadow, his eyes stand out like two little beams of light emanating from the area between his mouth and forehead. I’d put him at a solid 9.0 on the EVI (eye vibrancy…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 20 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
Remember when Jason “The Point Guard Whisperer” Kidd thought he was going to turn Michael Carter-Williams into the next Jason Kidd? I don’t want to say he failed in his efforts, but the next Jason Kidd would never score 20 without dishing a single assist. Somehow he turned MCW into a scoring-only chucker instead. Oops!…
Read MoreFrank Ntilikina Career High 20 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
Frank Ntilikina is alive! If you are doubting the veracity of this proclamation, just take a look at the statline in the title of this video. That is not the statline of a dead person. That is the statline of an alive person. The Knicks have been somewhat resurgent after firing their coach (which was…
Read MorePaul Millsap 20 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
Paul Millsap started off this game just straight-up torching a Bucks team that seemed to have no desire to guard him. He dropped thirteen points rather quickly and was making D.J. Wilson look like a total bum. Which he is. But Millsap was making him look like one too. Sorry Deej. Then I stopped watching…
Read MoreSterling Brown 16 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
Sterling Brown played 36 minutes in this contest, the first time he’s played more than thirty in a game this season. He took sixteen shots (a season high) to score sixteen points (also a season high). There are a lot of factoids you can pull from the Bucks’ lineup this game to drive home the…
Read MoreKyle Korver 23 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
Now THIS is the Bucks I want to see. Take out all the good players, and what do you have? A fun group of guys who are HUNGRY and want to WIN but CAN’T because they SUCK. The amount of role-playerness contained with in Milwaukee’s starting lineup is too much to be typed out here;…

Since I wore myself out writing some other descriptions tonight, I present to you my latest low-effort drivel disguised as semi-serious journalism: OFFICIAL FAMILY-FRIENDLY EUPHEMISMS FOR SERGE IBAKA’S “THINGY” POWER RANKINGS: 1. “Thingy” 2. “Pants Python” 3. “Sweatpants Snake” 4. “The Congolese Crusher” 5. “(Not-So-)Little Serge” 6. “The Pipe” 7. “Meat” [POWER GAP] 9001. “Cockle-Doodle-Doo”…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 27 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Devonte’ Graham took 26 shots to score his 27 points in this game. He was barely, just barely, on the correct end of that equation by having more points than shots attempted. The other side of that equation is where NBA players should dare never venture (although Graham has ventured there many…
Read MoreTerry Rozier Career High 40 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
Terry Rozier opened his eyes, then squinted them shut again. There was sunlight shining in his face, which always annoyed him when he was trying to capture those last few elusive minutes of sleep. However, he soon opened his eyes again, because there was no reason why there would be sun in his eyes. Every…
